Stolen Childhood → Stolen Childhood: Slave Youth in Nineteenth-Century America – Yes, this is the only article of the same name, "Stolen Childhood". However, the whole title is misleading and ambiguous. Also, there is the Italian film of the same name, but there is not yet an article about it. Perhaps we can use the current title as a redirect to the proposed title. When there will be an article about another topic of the same name, the title will be of the dabpage someday.

 * Oppose. Some elaboration on why it's misleading? The article is quite straightforwardly about a book, and the title is proper per WP:SUBTITLES. If anything, "Stolen Childhood (book)" makes more sense than using the subtitle. This said, I don't see the point while no other conflicting articles even exist, nevertheless take precedence as the primary topic. czar  ♔  02:27, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There is another book: Stolen Childhood: A Saga of Polish War Children. George Ho (talk) 02:34, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Which has no English reviews in book review databases and doesn't pass the GNG. Looks like a non-issue. czar  ♔  04:00, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * What about WP:NBOOKS and WP:NTEMP? I found this and that? George Ho (talk) 00:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * What about them? Not sure how the Polish book relates to either NBOOKS and NTEMP, and the first link is some guy's blog (not reliable) and the second link is a passing mention, not even written by the BBC author. On the other hand, King's book was reviewed in over a dozen journals. Also this is peripheral to the actual move discussion. czar  ♔  02:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - highly generic title used by at least 3 major books and 2 films. I just created Stolen Childhood (1994 film), Stolen Childhood (2004 film) is the one mentioned by George above. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The 3rd book by the way would be Stolen Children (1981 book) by John E. Gill who was expert witness in the Oversight hearing on the Missing Children's Assistance Act 1987 "... whose ex-spouses had abducted their children, I was able to gather enough material for the book, Stolen Children." etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:34, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * n.b. If there were an article on the 1981 book, the proper disambiguation for each article per NCBOOKS would be Stolen Childhood (King book) and Stolen Children (Gill book). --BDD (talk) 20:12, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:NCBOOKS. With only this and Stolen Childhood (film), we're in a WP:TWODABS situation. --BDD (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
